What Is The Best Medicine For Kidney Infection And Back Pain?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have been on Cipro since Monday for a kidney infection. Fever was gone yesterday, but today I'm back up to 99.8. Should I call my doctor back or give the antibiotics more time? Still have back pain, too.

Hi
Was the cipro started presumptively or based on urine culture report.
If fever has recurred despite being on antibiotics then the possibilities are a bug resistant to cipro in urine or you have develoed a complication secondary to the kidney infection. Hence please contact your doctor urgently.
Meanwhile keep drinking plenty of fluids. Back pain secondary to urinary infection can take few days to resolve after infection is completely treated.
